[IC] Soul Eater SCAR

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri half listened to what to everyone speak, however he gave no input of his own. Under normal circumstances it would simply be due to his lack of social experience, however right now his was so absorbed in trying keep his soul wavelength at a certain level that he was simply unable to give a response. He briefly looked up when he heard Ju-Long say his name, however as the weapon was currently speaking to someone else, Dimitri returned to his task without missing a beat. It was tricky keeping his wavelength going at a constant rate due to the water, however Dimitri felt as though he was starting to get the hang of things. Or at least he did until Victorique tugged on his sleeve. Despite having made a small step in the right direction in regards to dealing with being touched, the sudden action when he'd been so preoccupied caused Dimitri to jolt, and as a result, lose focus on what he was doing. There was a muffled cracking noise under Dimitri's left hand, and a few splits in the wood spiderwebbed out from beneath his middle knuckle.

The meister donned a mortified expression as he stopped and raised his hands to survey the damage. It seemed that either, the kyukon water was more effective than originally thought, desk was thicker than it looked, or the desk was made from very strong wood, as the inwardly dented epicenter of the crack was only about the size of a half dollar, though it did little to soothe his concern. Dimitri's forehead began to bead with sweat, 'Oh sweet death the teacher is going to be pissed when he sees the damage. Please for the love of everything sweet and proper let me have the money to replace the damage.'.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda looked to Victorique as she poked her, and said not to be sad. She sighed softly, and glanced away again. "I'm not sad. I'm just...feeling lonely" she said simply, once more just thinking about when class was going to be over. She frowned over the fact that victorica seemed to be talking to her as if she were a child. Kalinda was sure that she couldn't be more then two years younger then the older girl, but supposed that her looks made her seem younger, so she didn't press the fact.

it was going so well...why did I have to mess it all up? she thought to herself, looking down at the desk, but at the muffled crack, she flinched, and glanced about, half out of her chair, but relaxed as she saw it was just Dimitri. She blinked at the splintered desk, and frowned once more. Was something wrong with Dimitri? How much force with it take to do that? Was it just strength and nerves?

She stood from her half crouch, and went over to the nervous Dimitri, seeing that he was very close to a break down. "hi" she said, leaning against the desk, she managed a small smile, "what's wrong?"

[chukklehed]

Without a word, Alisa placed her hand on the large boy's arm. She hummed a bit, a deep resonant sound that seemed to match the silent humming of Dimitri's soul, and closed her eyes.

"You have a heavy soul." She said, pulling back. "Maybe you'd make a good partner, assuming anybody could want a weapon like me. You seem to have some difficulty controlling it though. Maybe..."

She trailed off as a woman walked in the room and headed straight for the teacher's desk, dropping the file she was holding and immediately laying her head down. She seemed to be taking a nap.

"Hey," Alisa said, prodding Victorique "Any relation?"

[CitrusArms]

Regan Hiryuu

Her partner seemed quite confident about how they would get along. To a certain point, she had to agree, but wasn't he being a little overconfident? Mmm, no matter. He's just more... American than she is. "Aah, your confidence is inspiring, Katsuo-san." Regan smiles sweetly at the young man, though the conversation nearby catches her ear. It reminded her that the whole point was to train. Right... She sighs softly and transforms her left hand into a hilt, bracing herself for the water's effect on her to become more apparent.

She leans against the desk next to her, propping herself on her hilt, before she notices Katsuo's discomfort. "Are you feeling alright?" He seemed sore. That shouldn't be a side effect of the water, right? So, what was wrong? It didn't seem serious, so she wasn't worried, but still. She jumps slightly when Dimitri cracks his desk, but only gazes at him for a moment before looking back to her partner. Others were already talking to Dimitri.

[DELETED7282737]

Victorique

It didn't even take 3 seconds before the cracking noice became worse. Her head shot back a bit of what was happening with Dimitri. Was he that angry right now. She letted go of his sleeve and silently stared at the spot on the table that had just been revealed by Dimitri taking his hand of the cracking spot. It wasn't all to huge of a deal but Dimitri still looked rather apologetic about dealing damage to school property. She placed her hands between her tights and looked away from Dimitri muttering a little while at it "Sorry, my fault." Out of nowhere she felt Kalinda move away from her but the Kyon water had lowered her reaction speed quiet a bit, making her fall over on the bench while she could just about let a gasp escape from het mouth. She had been relying on Kalinda just a little bit to much. A loud poking sound echoed through the class as she fell down. She got up again and rubbed the side of her head.

The other girl that had lectured her about Kyon water had showed up again besides Dimitri his desk asking if he wanted to partner up with her. This made Victorique realise that she didn't have a partner either yet. She looked about the classroom but didn't see much people left for her to chose from. Her eyes caught hold of the red head making her silently stare at her for a while with her mouth slightly open. She was caught out of her air moment by the new woman entering the classroom. Her eyes follow the woman to her desk as she suddenly started sleeping. She happily smiled at her thinking on how it could have been her mom. The other girl commented about the woman to Victorique too. She hasn't seen the person before. She shook het head at the girl before continuing to stare at the red head.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda sighed as someone else seemed to take over, and fuss over Dimitri. Her eyes went back to the sleeping person at the desk. She didn't look like a student, so perhaps she was a teacher? If that was the case, shouldn't she be awake? Couldn't the water harm her, if she was asleep.

She looked to Victorique, having forgotten that she had been leaning on Ber. She blushed, and glanced away, but frowned as she saw the other girl watching her. Almost mindlessly. She squirmed, rising from her lean on the desk, ""what? Jeez, if you want to stare so much I'll give you a picture" why was she staring at her. Reaching over, Kalinda poked her, to see if she was actually conscious.

She glanced to the teacher again, worried now. She hadn't made a move, and Kalinda really didn't want drama today. It was bad enough so far. She looked to Victorique once more. "I think she's out teacher. Should we wake her?"

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri peered into the crack's center wordlessly as if the secret to life itself would be revealed by the tiny hole. The damage was pretty much insignificant, and any normal person would consider him either crazy or unapologetically stupid to get as worked up as he was about it. Truth be told, it wasn't just the crack in the desk, rather a combination of everything that was going on that was bugging him. The crack was simply the candle atop the cake, and his mind -in a subconscious attempt to avoid a mental breakdown from overstimulation- decided to fixate on that one single thing rather than everything at once. Several voices registered in the back of Dimitri's mind, some of which seemed directed at him. It was a combination of these, and the fact that he was being touched once more that snapped Dimitri out of his daze. The meister let out a breath he didn't realize that he'd been holding before each of the words directed to him pieced themselves together enough for him to answer each individual coherently.

It was like his brain was on autopilot, searching for the first response that seemed appropriate and going with it: first came Kalinda who was expressing concern, "I'm fine, just a little bit jittery is all. This is all a bit new to me.", next was Alisa whom seemed to be interested in a partnership, "Sounds fine by me...i'm hardly the pick of the litter myself." he responded without fully thinking through the words, last came Victorique, who seemed to blame herself for what he'd done, "Not your fault. I'm just having a bit of a rough time adjusting to all of this.". It was a few seconds after the last response left his mouth when he realized that one out of the three statements was not like the others. Dimitri was at a loss as to whether he should punch himself in the head or pat himself on the back as he realized that he'd just agreed to potentially partner with someone. On the one hand: he might have just overcome a serious issue, on the other: he didn't know Alisa from the average Joe, nor did he know what sort of weapon she was or what she could do. Dimitri momentarily considered retracting his agreement, however something told him not to. Was it concern over how Alisa would react, fear of not finding a partner beyond her, or perhaps some form of intuition that kept him quiet? Those would be questions for later, right now all that mattered was that Dimitri had someone that was at least interested in being his weapon.

[DELETED7282737]

Victorique

Victorique was trown out of her trance by the redhead again. She made an irritated face as she was being poked but she still smiled at the blushing red head. It was pretty cute to see her blush like that. She stood up stil feeling a bit wonky but immediately wrapped her arms around the girl and started hugging her laying her head down against Kalinda her head while she kindly and warmly talked to her "Please do." She let go of the red head, she probably didn't even enjoy the hug and tried to squirm out of it anyway. Dimitri had begun talking to all of them and it seemed he was still trying to remain calm. It would have been trouble if he would suddenly burst out and hurt somebody. She gently smiled at him for hearing his words at her and immediatly replied "I know what you mean. Take some time." She looked at him once more feeling a little bit down on not becoming his potential partner.

She had no clue who was still free as meister except for Kalinda. Of course Kalinda was one of the few she actually would like to try as partner. She stared at her for a little bit longer on the verge of talking, wanting to open her mouth and say it but was stopped by Kalinda's talking. Which made Victorique glance at the teacher once more. Was she getting paid to do this? Maybe Victorique should try to work for this school if it was true. She gave a nod at Kalinda and hopped down from the stairs just being able to safe herself from falling while still feeling this dizzy. She had an idea to wake her up. Victorique stood besides the desk and look at Kalinda to copy her idea of waking someone "Like this?" She began poking the cheek of the sleeping person a few times and closly looked at her full of curiosity if she would wake up.

[Little_ninja]

Ju-Long

Watching the others once more, Ju-Long watched as the other teacher walked in and slept on the desk.
Uh....
Asleep?

Snapping back to the others, it seemed that Dimitri damaged the desk, others looked over him in concern. He seemed a little spaced out before replying to them all. "Rough time, eh... To having so many people around you? It's fine, just relax! Don't worry about too many things." Ju-Long said, patting Dimitri on the back. "Although, it seems that most of there aren't many meisters left here, if you pair up with um..." He turned to face the other person who joined the conversation, unsure of her name. "Sorry, didn't catch your name. My name is Ju-Long, what's yours?" he asked with his usual smile.

"Well, at this rate, I may have to be alone. *Sigh* I mean, Kalinda and Victorique over there seem to be getting along just great, seems like they may pair up. I thought, that I'd end up Dimitri if that was the case, but looks like I'm left to go solo." Ju-long continued, turning to Kalinda and Victorique who were .... cuddling? next to each other.

Is it really fine to go solo? Wouldn't it be better to just team up without having a meister?
But brother is strong! He even has soul attacks! Something rare among weapons!
We will see what happens, we might split up into teams, since they did say we are supposed to be something like the bakc line of defense, we might need to fight the worse of the worse

Victorique went down to the teacher and started poking her. "Copying Kalinda there Victorique? Guess it is effective if you are imitating it." Ju-long looked towards them and called out. "Anyway ..." turning to Kalinda, "I hope my explanation was helpful Kalinda. Are you going to be pairing up with Victorique? You two seem to get along quite nicely. If not, are you looking for a specific kind of weapon to use? Or perhaps a type of soul? Like a grigori soul?" Ju-long was unsure if anyone else knew about grigori souls. They were rare souls found in 1 in 50 million.

[MarshiestMallow]

As Victorique hugged her, Kalinda made a 'Blarg' face, but resigned herself to the hug, She did squirm slightly, but didn't pull away, still making the 'blarg' face, until the older girl let her go. She watched as Victorique walked over to the teacher, and poked her. Kalinda smiled and nodded, about to speak, when Ju-Long spoke to her. She was slightly off put at the question of Victorique and herself pairing up. Kalinda looked over to the older girl, and gave a shrug.

"I don't know. If she wants to partner up with me, then I'll be happy to. I'm not really looked for any thing in particular. I can adapt to a weapons wavelength easily, so I'm not fussy" she said, choosing her words carefully, not wishing to upset Ju-Long or do anything wrong "as for a grigor soul, if there's one around, then I see no reason not to pair up with them, if they want"

Again she shrugged, not sure what else to say. There didn't seem to be anything else to say, and she looked to Victorique, watching the girl, who seemed okay now, against the Kyokun water's effects. Kalinda was glad, even as it meant that she would have to bake cupcakes tonight.

She looked back to Ju-long, eyes flickering towards Dimitri and the girl that had pretty much ignored Kalinda when she had been asking Dimitri if she was okay. It didn't bother Kalinda, but she hoped that Dimitri was okay. She said to Ju-Long, "I don't have any preference either in the type of weapon. I can learn how to wield any weapon, if I have to, and haven't really trained in any one style. What type of weapon are you?" She asked curiously, wondering if she should look at her classmates souls, to have a better understanding of them. But she figured that was an invasion of privacy. "what type of Miesters have you paired with before?"

[chukklehed]

The teacher rolled her head away from the poking and waved her hand a bit.

"Yes, yes, my name is Lillian and I'm your second teacher. Introductions are over now go mingle or have lunch or... something. If you have questions bother Kain with them..."

After that increadibly lazy introduction, Lillian fell back asleep. Allisa shook her head and stood up.

"Well, I suppose class is dismissed for now. I'm going back to my room."

She moved towards the door, moving slowly and precisely.

[Little_ninja]

Ju-Long

The new teacher spoke up, telling them that her name was Lillian, before going back to sleep.
"Well, I suppose class is dismissed for now. I'm going back to my room."
The girl whom Ju-Long had asked their name, just got up and suddenly started making their way to the door ....
"Uh.... ok ...." Ju-Long stared blankly at her for a moment before returning his gaze to the others, "Well... I kinda just got ignored."

Kalinda replied to Ju-Long's question.
"I don't know. If she wants to partner up with me, then I'll be happy to. I'm not really looked for any thing in particular. I can adapt to a weapons wavelength easily, so I'm not fussy"
He noticed she was being careful for some reason."as for a grigor soul, if there's one around, then I see no reason not to pair up with them, if they want"
"Well, I mean, you two seem to be getting along great, so I thought you might have paired up already. By the way, you seem to be a little ... cautious. Is there something wrong? Is it the face-desk before? That was me just being a little over the top. Although I would appreciate not being called Pervy, nicknames are the names other people give you. Usually for amusement. As long as it wasn't aggressive, I felt no harm done." He replied to her caution.

"I don't have any preference either in the type of weapon. I can learn how to wield any weapon, if I have to, and haven't really trained in any one style. What type of weapon are you? what type of Miesters have you paired with before?" She followed up her answer with a question afterwards.

"Hm.... I wonder how I should reply ...." Ju-Long replied, putting his hand on his chin and tilting his head up in thought.
You two, get ready to transform. Might as well just show them, it would be easier. I'll just follow up somehow without needing to explain the real situation.
Are you sure? Well I'm ready.
Transformation time? Yay!

"Well, the second question is definitely easier to answer. None. Never had a meister, I've been running solo in the first place, well with the occasional teaming up." he replied, turning back to her, and getting up from the seat. "I think instead of answering the first one, showing would be simpler. It will also explain the reason for my second answer."

Just normally from the hands or?
Let's go from the shoulders.
Show off from shoulders!
Ok, I get it.

Ju-Long stood up right, and held his hands out. From the back of his shoulder blades, two white orbs flew out. Flying up and spinning into a blade form, they came down, spinning in their white light. Coming down to eye level, he caught the two blades, holding the hilt of the swords with the blades pointed down. He crossed his arms over, and flipped the swords upright and ended up posing. With his left hand in front and his right hand closer to his body, he was in a battle-stance.

In his left was a white blade, and his right was a black blade.

The three souls harmonized, into a state similar to a soul resonance, but not the same. A unique resonance to hide his siblings soul-wavelengths. Even if a meister wielded one or both of his siblings, they would feel connected to Ju-Long, and would be able to communicate to their weapon, Ju-Long like they normally could. This was because their bodies were in Ju-Long, and could easily allow themselves to act as intermediaries between his soul and the meister. It had happened a couple of times when teaming up, and he had to let someone 'utilize' his brother.

"So what do you think?" he asked, holding the stance, and letting Kalinda, and anyone near by have a look. After a minute or two, he then threw them up, where they spun into white orbs and returned to his shoulder blades.

[DELETED7282737]

Victorique

Victorique had poked the teacher a few times on the cheek and heard the boy Ju-Long talk to her. Her eyes trailed over the benches, it was a little hazy and even with squinting her eyes she couldn't concentrate to adjust her sight. Alarm bells sounded that it was about time that she left the classroom otherwise it might be going wrong. She gave a timid nod at the location of the voice and poked the teacher once more. Victorique overheard the two talking and her gaze went over to the pair again. Her mouth was hanging slightly open as her finger was still right in front of the teacher her cheek. They were talking about Kalinda maybe partnering up with her, but that would leave Ju-Long all alone. She looked down a little thinking about the situation at hand. She herself wasn't strong and her weapon form was hard to get used too. Ju-Long on the other hand looked rather well trained and good at everything. Kalinda had to decide herself really, at least she wouldn't feel regret if the girl didn't pick her. It would be for the best.

Victorique jumped a little at the teacher suddenly waking up. She took a few steps back and listened carefully to her soft words. The teacher didn't seem that motivated to give any lectures to them or anything. This was... this was her but on a whole other level of laziness. She was a little terrified herself by it. Well she didn't complain about a break right about now and so she did. She saw the teacher off and waited a few moments to see if anything else happened. Victorique headed out of the classroom without saying anything still a bit wobbly and went into the school hallways. Luckily she reached the door it was just in time she fell against the side of the doorpost and leaded herself against the wall to a spot close to the door. Victorique slowly slid herself down against the wall and sat on the ground. Her head slowly dropped to the side as she fell asleep with her mouth slightly agape while she lightly breathed.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda figured that she had gone too far with the pervy comment, but she gave a shrug, :it;s nothing, really. Just having an internal debate with myself" She said, wishing to avoid, for now, any comment on her abilities.

Kalinda watched as Ju-Lung summoned two blades, wondering just how, but t here had been weapons before that had been their own miesters, sort of. Perhaps this was similar. Still, it was pretty cool being able to do that. Kalinda wondered how it would be to actually partner with a weapon like that, but her eyes slid to Victorique as she hurried out the classroom.

"that's pretty neat. Would be interesting to partner up with, but I think Victorique needs me more. I'll ask more questions later about how you can do that and stuff, but I'm worried about Victorique" Kalinda said, trying not to be rude, but she did hurry off after Victorique.

She sighed softly, seeing the girl asleep, and crouched down beside her. Kalinda knew she wasn't strong enough to carry Victorique some place else, and knew that food would do the girl a lot of good. She poked Victorique, hoping to wake her up enough to some place better. "Hey, Vicky, wake up. come on now, you can't sleep here" She said loud enough to try and wake her up, concerned now.

[MonsieurShade]

Realizing that the teacher had given everyone permission to leave the classroom, Dimitri shot up from his seat -almost literally due to the kyukon water- with a look of pure relief. While he was both grateful for the concern of several of his peers and impressed and curious when it came to Ju-Long's weapon reveal, the boy was still feeling quite overwhelmed by everything he'd been subjected to up until this point and desperately needed to find a bit of space to de-stress. "I-it was a pleasure meeting you all, but I think i'll go ahead and head out before. It was uh....nice meeting you all." he squeaked before exiting the row of seats opposite the others. Dimitri was practically a blur as he made his way towards the exit, moving much quicker than what was to be expected of a person of his size and stature. Upon his exit the meister felt relief wash over him, as well as a marginal shift in his weight. The kyukon water's effects where still lingering, and would likely continue to linger for a while, but Dimitri still welcome the feeling of added weight regardless of how minuscule it was.

Sensing an opportunity Dimitri decided that he'd try to find out of the DWMA had a library, figuring that not only would he find solitude, but he'd be able to possibly look up some locations via either a book or some maps. Locations such as fabric shops that could be used to buy either yarn or silk to make scarves for some of his classmates. Dimitri turned and stepped forward, only to be introduced chin first to the ground in a decidedly undignified manner, the cause of which being the fact that he tripped over Victorique. Dimitri slowly sat up and rubbed his chin, growling softly at the throbbing pain in his jaw. It wasn't particularly bad -no different than taking a good sock to the jaw in a boxing ring- but it definitely wasn't pleasant. It took the meister a few moments to realize that he'd tripped over something that felt remarkably like a body, but once he put two and two together Dimitri turned to face them in order to properly apologize. "Victorique!? I'm SO sorry! Like, really, really sorry! I didn't see you sitting there and....sorry!" He said frantically before he stood and offered his hand to help her up.

[Little_ninja]

Ju-Long

"that's pretty neat. Would be interesting to partner up with, but I think Victorique needs me more. I'll ask more questions later about how you can do that and stuff, but I'm worried about Victorique"
"Please don't ask questions about it. I'd rather not talk about it. Anyway, as I was suggested earlier, you two could pair up. Oh, how about the four of us take quests together? I think it would be pretty cool. Well, I'll see you later" Ju-Long replied, seeing Kalinda leave the classroom to talk to Victorique.

Hm...
What's wrong, brother?
The pervert is wondering why he bothered with something like that. Normally he wouldn't show off, and he said he was fine going alone, but yet still showed off and tried to grab her interest.
Oh! Is it? Could it be?
Oh, be quiet. I don't know why I did it. Just felt like it. Maybe I wanted to just not have to do the quests with only you two, and wanted someone else there.
If you say so.

"I-it was a pleasure meeting you all, but I think i'll go ahead and head out before. It was uh....nice meeting you all."
"Yeah nice to meet you too. Be careful alright? Don't stress too much!"
Ju-Long called out to Dimitri, who seemed a bit panicky. "Well ... that's it I guess. Got nothing else to do, should start heading back."

Walking down to leave, he saw Regan and Katsuo. "Looking forward to studying with you guys." Ju-Long said to them, starting to leave the classroom. He then heard a sudden crashing sound. "What the!?" he called out without thinking, rushing out to see Kalinda crouching down, Victorique ... still sleeping or maybe half asleep? and Dimitri who had fallen over. It seemed he tripped over Victorique. "Aiya...." Ju-Long expressing that it was a bad situation. Dimtri eventually got up and apologized to Victorique.

"Victorique!? I'm SO sorry! Like, really, really sorry! I didn't see you sitting there and....sorry!"
"Oi, you alright there Dimitri? From what I can tell, didn't you take a pretty big fall to your chin? That normally rattles the brain quite a bit. Anyway .... why is everyone ... just here, outside the classroom?"

[DELETED7282737]

Victorique

Victorique was finally able to sleep somewhere again but it didn't seem for long as the redhead seemed to be talking to her again. Victorique didn't open her eyes yet and replied with a soft groan, suddenly her ankle started to hurt. She quickly opened her eyes and fell sidewards while letting a small gasp escape out of her mouth at the same time. A loud thud echoed through the hallways of the academy with another thud followed up to it short after. She was lying sideways on the ground with both her hands on her ankle. It didn't look bruised or anything just a little red from the hit. Victorique slowly tried to straighten herself up again and dumbfoundedly stared around her what had hit her. She could only find Kalinda on the left of her. She stared at the girl for a few moments with her mouth dumbfoundedly open. Had she kicked her ankle to wake her up or something. Her eyes wandered over towards the hurted spot on her leg. It was pretty red and a little swollen.

Victorique noticed the large object lying on the ground next to her and wondered, was that there before? Victorique crawled over towards the front of the object and discovered it was just Dimitri lying on the ground. She stared at him for a few moment and could find out that it was him tripping over her ankle. She quietly sat next to him on her knees and kept staring at his face as he stood up. After Dimitri apologised to her she did the same back to him and made a little bow to apologize to him too "Sorry." Victorique took his hand to stand up and immediately noticed how big his hand actually was. She stared at his big hand for a moment and used his support to stand up. After she let go of him and tried to stand onto her own legs it immediately went wrong. Victorique stumbled a little and fell towards the door against Ju-long not being able to stand on her left leg anymore.

[MarshiestMallow]

So much seemed to happen at once. It threw Kalinda off. Dimitri fell over Victorique, causing the girl to fall, and then look at Kalinda as if she had caused the injury. Kalinda held up her hands as if to say "not me"

She poked Dimitri, but he didn't seem so bad as he quickly stood up. She watched victorique take his hand to rise, and Kalinda Rose swiftly, quickly reaching out to try and balance Victorique before she stumbled against ju long. Kalinda sighed softly, and looked at both guys.

"one of you, be a dear, and help me get her to the cafeteria for lunch. I'm not strong enough to be of much help, and chances are if she leans on me, I'm going to topple over. And she needs food." Kalinda was going to make sure that Victorique ate, to get energy and strength back. "and we should hurry, before she falls asleep again" she smiled at her kwn little jest, but was concerned for Victorique. She couldn't very well continue to sleep in hallways, or more people would trip over her.

Why did Kalinda care? That was a good question, and one she really didn't have an answer to. Kalinda liked to be needed, and Victorique certainly needed someone to look after her. Especially in this class, with the water. But mostly, Kalinda guessed that she just saw a chance to not be so alone.

[Little_ninja]

Ju-Long

Ju-Long looked on as Dimitri and Victorique apologized to each other. He saw Victorique struggle to get up, "Oi, you ..." He cut off his question as Victorique stumbled and fell in his direction. Catching her with his hands and body, he continued "Guess that means that you are not okay." Ju-Long looked down at Victorique making sure she was okay. Nothing seemed wrong for now.

Does anything seem wrong with her?
Is her leg okay?
I can't see anything irregular here.

Kalinda then spoke up, "one of you, be a dear, and help me get her to the cafeteria for lunch. I'm not strong enough to be of much help, and chances are if she leans on me, I'm going to topple over. And she needs food." It seems like Kalinda was going to make sure that Victorique ate, to get energy and strength back. "and we should hurry, before she falls asleep again"

"I can take her there." Ju-long replied to Kalinda, turning his back to Victorique and crouching. "Hop in, that way you can sleep as well. Do you want to go to your room or to the cafeteria, Victorique?" Ju-long as offering Victorique a piggy-back ride, and wanted to know whether she just wanted to sleep or if some food would do her good.

If Victorique got on his back, he would then stand and start piggy-back ride her, otherwise, he would offer helping her walk to where she wanted to go.

[MonsieurShade]

"I'm fine, just a little bump on the chin is all." Dimitri said as played off his fall in front of Ju-Long and the others without meeting anyone's gaze. He felt shame and embarrassment wash over him, tinging his cheeks a very faint shade of pink as he helped Victorique up. The combination of Victorique's trouble standing and Kalinda's request for assistance just served to make him feel even worse. The meister knew that it would be the right thing to do, but at the same time something in him really didn't want to be around people any longer. More than anything Dimitri just wanted to find a place where he could curl up unnoticed until he felt confident enough to be around people again.

A potential godsend came in the form of Ju-Long as he offered to carry Victorique while Dimitri internally wrestled with himself over what to do. For a second Dimitri opened his mouth, though it was quickly shut once more as he still didn't know whether he'd offer to carry his fellow meister himself or thank Ju for his offer. To some of his shame -and admittedly a bit of relief- Dimitri's desire to flee won out over his desire to stay any further, prompting him to turn and take off down the hall after muttering one last apology. The small but steady increase in his soul wavelength's weight made him slower than he'd been in class, however Dimitri was still more than capable of moving at a startling pace.
